Quiet Atlantic - Nature on the Rampage in the Pacific

Just a quick post that will be updated later today.

As quiet as it has been in the Atlantic this past week in the tropics the Pacific has had storm upon storm to deal with and now two back to back strong earthquakes have been registered in Samoa and Indonesia.

A good site to watch for the geologically inspired...

And, I wonder how many people in America realize that we have a Congressman from Samoa.

I love geography. I LOVE MAPS! ;)

Most people don't and they don't realize Samoa has given us more than great NFL football players!!

"The Samoan capital of Apia was evacuated as authorities scrambled to get thousands of people to higher ground.

Witnesses said cars were swept out to sea in American Samoa where buildings were destroyed in what the US congressman for the territory said was a scene of "devastation."
